Savannah's reflection about her learning this week.

We learnt many different things this week. We have learnt so much that our buckets are full to even over full! Some buckets are only half full but no one had an empty bucket! We reflected on what we had learnt and done during the week and wrote about it into our writing books.
Visiting Harold in the Life Education Bus,
swimming,
writing about the most dangerious thing we have done,
posting onto the blog,
making a Photostory and making a spider print.
Savannah wrote about swimming. Her next learning step is to make sure her story makes sense. You can hear where she had some trouble reading her own story. She was our super writer today! Well done Savannah!

Good listening

We saw HAROLD!

We visited the Life Education Bus this week.
What did we learn? Can anyone edit this posting and add what we learnt when we were in the bus?

We are learning how to put a new posting onto the Blog

We put in the classroom password.
We have the information in our Homework books.
We do not show anyone but we can show our Mum's and Dad's so they can help us.
This is our blog! Not our brothers and sisters blog! They are not responsible and we cannot trust or rely on them not to put silly things onto our blog.
